The future of weed in America

steamstash Permalink
steamstash No its not trouble! A CBD high is so amazing. It's not considered a "high" i guess, but i would consider it one. The chemical's effects are:
Alertness which transitions into a sedated feeling when the dosage is increase
Relaxation
Altered space-time perception
Appetite stimulation
Anti-psychotic for people suffering from schizophrenia
Also is said to counteract the memory dulling properties of THC and other chemicals alike.

amazing aint it! I have tried countless CBD strains and edibles and honestly I'm growing to love it more than THC.

benevolution I think its a good thing. I always felt it was wrong for stoners to push the medical cannabis agenda just so they could get high legally. Let people who aren't out to get high but actually need pain relief and other medicinal benefits get the help they need. I think the kind of weed that gets you high should be legal too, but for the hardline right wing states that will never give in to popular demand, they might at least consider this option so that people can get some relief.

... I know I would prefer the kind that gets me high ...

There isn't ONE good reason it should be illegal in the first place!! So why wouldn't/shouldn't the medical community/recreational community want to get high legally. Hard to believe in the information age statements like yours @benevolution are still made. lame breh.

westbrook Chill @retired_from_dotnet. @Benevolution already said he is for legalization of recreational use. I don't see a problem with developing the type of weed that has medicinal values but won't get you high if that's what some people want, which I'm sure some do.

benevolution Permalink
benevolution @retired_from_dotnet its all good. I guess what I was trying to say but wasnt clear enough was: people who want cannabis to be legal for recreational use should just say so. I can't help but think that one of the reasons its taken so long for the medical cannabis movement to be recognized as a legitimate medical issue is because so many people jump on the bandwagon just because they want to see cannabis be legalized so they can get high. in my opinion having 10,000 college students show up at a "legalize medical marijuana" rally and start passing bowls around kind of hurts the movement. I'm totally on board with legalizing it completely, not just for medical use with a prescription but for everyone.

mgh2001 CBD and compounds other than thc in cannabis are good for medicinal reasons, more so than thc at times. It's a good step forward, and is the future of medicinal weed. They have already pushed the boundaries of high thc plants.

This is not to mention, CBD is what helps give a strain that couch lock high. So it's not just good for medicinal purposes

benevolution Permalink
benevolution from my (admittedly limited) experience with edibles, it seems I always get more of what you describe as a couch lock high. So much so that I stay away from edibles completely. I don't feel good like I feel when I smoke it, I just feel heavy, weighted down, and inevitably pass out. Not fun. Maybe the process that the person who made the edibles used resulted in more CBD than THC in the final product. Who knows.

westbrook Permalink
westbrook Yeah edibles definitely give you more of a body high, but it can be intense and last for a long time. I pretty much end up passing out nearly every time I use them but I take them before bed so it's not that big of a deal.

Some people prefer to take a more natural approach when putting stuff into their bodies and those painkiller drugs have more potential to be abused.

Lolzzzzz and if you have cancer you should use chemo to battle it hahahahaha

Who recommends shit house drugs like Vicodin and oxy?? That's awful

careful_w_that_axe_Miller Permalink
careful_w_that_axe_Miller Point is, IMO, the federal government is going to force this down states throats you just watch. They are using the DEA to police our states, a centralized police force, soon as people resist they will call out the National Guard to stop rioting, problem being that the National guard is a state entity and they are the guys and friends and family of guys who voted for legalization, so now we got more guns in the street, just wondering how much blood is going to get spilled so my kid can burn a fatty on her 18th w her dad?

I've seen people going through chemo using cannabis and it made a big difference in their quality of life, I can understand the need for this product and hope it helps.

Keep Weed Illegal
Says your neighborhood dealer... a totally free(legal) cannabis plant would drop market prices to next to nothing. You might pay 4 bucks a gram for the most hetty of nugs.

edit: I know lots of people who have beaten cancer with chemo my comment was not meant to be insensitive to those who are currently or have used in the past chemo... Its just not my first recommendation.. That would be Rick Simpson Oil... for everything

retired_from_dotnet Also cannabis is a very complex .. There are many different types of THC's as well as CBD's and CBN's, THC-A ,THC-B, THC-C so on and so forth. The more people open their eyes to the benefits of cannabis the more research could be done and emphasis could be made on all aspects of cannabis.

So your advocating status quo or zero regulation? No middle ground?

To me, not only is status quo a disaster as a "war on drugs" it is also a serious contributor to the inequality of non-violent prison sentences. So, not only has the status quo completely failed in its intended purpose (keeping drugs off the streets), but it has incidentally impacted the ongoing movement for civil rights equality. That is a colossal failure.

Zero federal regulation (declassify, legalize both medicinally and recreationally), while admittedly an enticing prospect from certain perspectives, is probably too much to hope for right away. This is going to be a long and arduous process. But steps, even baby steps, toward the goal should be praised as progress, not dismissed because they don't go as far as we want them to.

Get it legally in the hands of people that need it first. Then, if that is as successful as everyone thinks it will be, it will naturally become legally available to those that want it.
